The Palestinian Prisoners Club said that the number of hunger strikers protesting their administrative detention has risen to 11 on Wednesday, after Maher al-Akhras announced an open-ended hunger strike.
52-year-old Al-Akhras from the town of Silat Al-Dhahr, near Jenin, previously launched a hunger strike that lasted for 103 days when he was detained without trial in 2020.
He is married and is the father of six children.
